The State of the Borough Profile has been put together to provide all Haringey’s stakeholders – from Officers and Councillors to Residents – with access to the data they need to understand the borough. Only the most up-to-date and reliable data and sources have been included here, in order to provide an in-depth look at key areas of the Council’s work and remit, which often also includes the work and remit of our key partners. This single point of reference will be updated regularly, and used to drive the Council’s work, ensuring that our work is driven by the highest quality and most robust data. Additional information on the data, sources and methodologies we’ve used to put together this profile can be found in the Appendix at the end.

The latest DWP local data shows a huge increase in Universal Credit declarations/ claims being made and individual claimants due to COVID-19. This increase was sharpest at the start of the pandemic, with the majority of the increase happening between March and May 2020, however there has been a steady rise in the number of claimants ever since.
The number of individuals claiming universal credit has increased in every LSOA (hence every ward).
The overall number of UC claimants has increased by 27,900 (+192%) from Feb 20 to Mar 21.
The Wards in Haringey with the largest increases in claims are: Tottenham Green (2,295), Northumberland Park (2,245), and Tottenham Hale (2,126)
The majority of UC claimants are still in the East part of the Borough with the wards with the highest number of claimants overall being; Northumberland Park (3,863 claimants), Tottenham Green (3,463), Tottenham Hale (3,293), Bruce Grove (3,150) and Seven Sisters (3,037) accounting for 39% of all claimants.

Source: MHCLG 2018 Rough Sleeping and Homelessness
Local Authorities in England use a count or estimate to find out how many people are sleeping rough in their area. Since March 2020 Haringey has seen a 74% decrease in rough sleeping. The ‘everyone in’ initiative, and the rapid mobilisation of new services in response to COVID-19 have contributed to this reduction. The Counts and Estimates methodology produces a snapshot figure of how many people sleep rough on a typical night, with figures available at local, regional and national levels. The data does not include people who are homeless but do not fall within the rough sleeping definition, such as those who are in temporary accommodation or are staying with friends or family.

In Haringey people are generally seen bedded down in the Finsbury Park, Wood Green and Tottenham areas. The shown map represents volume of contacts rather than individuals, and some people may have been seen on multiple occasions within a given area. In Haringey the vast majority are new rough sleepers with no second night out. A small number of people rough sleeping in the borough are classed as living on the streets (LOS), these people are very well known to our Outreach Team. Rough Sleeping and Homelessness
Official MHCLG figures show that the majority of people rough sleeping are men aged over 25 and from an EU country outside the UK. This is also true in Haringey. Women are often hidden in rough sleeping statistics because they seek protection from gender-based harm on the streets by sleeping in squats, buses and sex-working for accommodation. In Haringey, only 15% of people identified as rough sleeping are women. The average age of death for women who experience rough sleeping is lower than for men who sleep rough: 42 years for women compared to 44 years for men. A significant number of people who rough sleep experience drug or alcohol dependence. People who are dependent on drugs or alcohol may struggle to retain accommodation due to financial difficulties, problems with behaviour or family relationship breakdown. Homelessness can also be the route to substance dependence as a coping mechanism.

APPENDIX A: Explaining the Data APPENDIX: Explaining the Data
Below is additional information on the data, sources and methodologies we’ve used to put together this profile. If you have any further questions that are not answered here please contact the Business Intelligence team: [email protected].
• Age breakdowns: Age groups may be divided and analysed in different ways according to the topic area. As a general rule, we would recommend performing analysis by age using the following breakdowns: 0-17; 18-34; 35-49; 50-64; 65+. However, it is plausible (and recommended) that you may decide to split out some of these age groups differently depending on the topic or in order to conduct more granular analysis.
• IMD: The Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD) is the DCLG’s official measure of deprivation, which ranks all LSOAs in England according to how deprived they are. The Index is calculated using a number of measures across employment, education and skills, health, crime, housing and living environment.
• LSOAs and MSOAs: Lower-layer Super Output Areas (LSOAs) and Middle-layer Super Output Areas (MSOAs) are the area designations used for small areas, and were designed to allow analysis at a more local level than borough level. LSOAs are smaller and cover a population of between 1,000 and 3,000. MSOAs cover a population of between 5,000 and 15,000.
• Population Projections: A variety of sources are available for population estimates and projections. In this presentation, we have used data published by the Greater London Authority, specifically the 2018 round of housing-led projections. These projections are used because they incorporate the latest available Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (SHLAA) development trajectory.
• Statistical Neighbours (SNs): Using the Statistical Neighbour model allows us to benchmark our performance against the boroughs that are, statistically speaking, most similar to us. We use the CIPFA Nearest Neighbours model, which identifies the following boroughs as our Statistical Neighbours: Brent; Ealing; Enfield; Greenwich; Hackney; Hounslow; Islington; Lambeth; Lewisham; Merton; Newham; Southwark; Tower Hamlets; Waltham Forest; Wandsworth.
